Night at the Carousel

A good place to eat. Even on a weekday night it is crowded. Make reservations if you want to go. I was so excited about eating there that anything I ate over the weekend seems to be tasteless. Heh heh.

It was the highlight of the day to me since I spent the entire morning on a Learning Journey at the Civics District. I did enjoy the LJ but I was in pain since someone told me that I have to look presentable and wear working clothes to enter the Supreme Court. That person was very insistent about it. Funny that I actually took that person advice even though my HOD said I can wear jeans, t-shirt and sandals. Anyway, I decided to wear heels only to realise that we have to tour St Andrew's Cathedral, walk pass City Hall and Old Supreme Court and to the Arts House where the Old Parliament was. I wasn't exactly in pain but I could be much more comfortable in my Birk's, right?

Anyway, back to the Carousel. Cos my colleagues and I make a large group they put us in the State Room. So there was only us in that room and we made such a ruckus. If you sit outside on the main dining area, it is actually very noisy and the seats are too near to each other. The ambiance in the State Room was just right and the food was great. Indeed, they offer a large spread of buffet from sushi and shashimi to roast chicken and pasta. Of course not everything tastes good to me but majority of the food was delicious. I loved the roast chicken, lamb shank, make your own pasta dish and some others that I can't remember. We started dinner at 7.30 and we ate non-stop till 9pm. Then, we slowed down but continued eating until 10 then we attacked the desserts. All kinds of cakes, puddings and fondue! Actually the dessert tray was the first thing we all saw when we came in and the spread looked so pretty and enticing that we wanted to start dessert first. It took all our will power to not eat dessert until 10pm. Yumm...I want to go again.

Oh gazillions of calories in me and I skipped netball training too for the dinner. But I did play badminton in the afternoon after my LJ. So the walking around town and exercising cancels off the extra fats and calories right? But, don't care lah. Good food, good service and good company, that counts more.
